May 28, 2010

10liberal_mainAfter this Friday and Saturday nights June 4th-5th the town of Liberal, Kansas will never be the same. 5 of the biggest and baddest Monster Trucks in the world will be coming to Liberal to redefine the meaning of excitement! Tickets are on sale now at Napa Auto Parts stores in Liberal, KS and Guymon, Oklahoma as well as at Dodge City Raceway Park. Tickets can also be had by logging on to www.GetTix.net or by phoning 1-866-443-8849. Act now because these tickets, much like the Monster Trucks themselves are gonna Go Fast! Friday night Kid’s Tickets are only 5 bucks!

Leading the charge into Liberal is one of the most legendary names in Monster Truck history, you’ve heard the name now you get to see him in person – Equalizer driven by “Mad Man” Mike Hawkins! Ready to take him to the limit, all the way from Mexico City, Mexico – one of the fastest rising stars in the sport, Hot Tamale driven by Isaiah Morales – he has one goal and that is putting on a show for the fans! Joining them to catch some air and crush some cars, making a short pull up from Oklahoma is young gun Devin Jones and the Barbarian! Devin is coming off of a winter season campaign in which he finished 3rd in the Winter Nationals point standings, combine that with a TV appearance on Speed Channel and Devin is widely considered to be one of the guys to watch in 2010. Making the pull clear up from Florida is another relative newcomer to the sport, Chris Lagana in Razin Kane. Chris loves to catch big air and put on a show for the fans, so have your camera ready when he hits the track! Last, but certainly not least, another East Coast guy making the long haul up to Liberal is Mike Barnes with his truck War Eagle. Mike loves to ride wheelies and race for the win, keep your eyes open for Mike – you just might see him in the Winner’s Circle.

These 5 trucks will be doing battle in 3 disciplines during each of the 2 shows scheduled in Liberal. Kicking off the festivities is a wild and crazy Wheelie Contest where the goal is to put the front tires in the sky and rip the tailgate off in the dirt! The Wheelie Contest finishing order will qualify these Monsters for Side by Side Racing. When the light goes green – these guys know how to get mean! Some of these guys might be friends off the track, but on the track that is the last thing that matters, Winning is the only goal! Finally, to round out each show, these trucks will let it all hang out in the crowd favorite Freestyle Competition. In Freestyle anything goes, except for going easy! Huge air, big wheelies and mud kickin, truckin spinnin donuts are only a few of the sights you’ll see during Freestyle!

Also appearing, for the first time ever at Liberal Fairgrounds Speedway – SCHOOL BUS RACES!  busracing
That’s right!  We’re bringing those 64 passenger cheese wagons of doom to rock and roll around the speedway!  These behemoths are a handfull to race and a ton of run to watch!  We’re in contact with local business owners and local “celebrities” about driving these wild and wacky tanks – heck, we might even have a spare bus or two that we pick someone out of the crowd to drive!  How cool would that be?

Those wild and crazy Tuff Trucks will also be taking part in each show! Local drivers are encouraged to enter whatever they’ve got to race, however this event is not open to Pro-Arena type trucks or Dune Buggies! Cars, trucks, stock, modified – it’s all good, but please leave your motor-homes at home! These cars and trucks will be out on the track to run for time and to catch some big air! Tuff Trucks have been a crowd favorite for years! Expect big air, big thrills and maybe even some big spills! Cash and trophies will be awarded to the Top 3 finishers per event based on single fastest time.  For the Tuff Truck Flyer and Entry Form Click Here.

Local Quad riders are also encouraged to enter into the Quad Racing portion of each event, bring your 4-wheelers out and race with us! The Quads will be racing on a Speed Moto – TT Racing inspired track with fast sweeping corners and multiple jumps! An Open-Pro class and an Open-Amateur class will be racing during each event with the Pros racing for cash and the Amateurs running for trophies to be awarded to the Top 3 during each event.  For the Quad Flyer with information on the races and how to enter, please Click Here.
